Everything is bigger in Wahroonga: the blocks, the gardens, the driveways and the distances your water and waste have to travel. A sewer line here can run forty metres before it reaches the street, and every metre is an opportunity for tree roots. Rapid Service Plumbing looks after Wahroonga's grand old homes and their long pipe runs with fixed upfront pricing and workmanship we guarantee in writing.

Local. Licensed. Fixed price.
A large Wahroonga property is its own small water network: long supply runs, long sewer runs, stormwater from a big roof, often a rainwater tank, and garden irrigation on top. When something fails, finding the fault matters as much as fixing it.
Long sewer runs and tree roots: The further a pipe travels under an established garden, the more joints there are for roots to find. Our blocked drain team traces faults along the full run with a CCTV camera, clears them with high-pressure jetting, and repairs cracked sections using no-dig relining, so a fifty-year-old camellia bed does not pay the price for a broken pipe beneath it.
Stormwater for big roofs and long driveways: A heritage home with a slate or tiled roof sheds an enormous volume of water in a storm, and long private driveways channel it. We repair and upgrade stormwater and site drainage, and our roof plumbers keep box gutters, downpipes and rainheads on older homes doing their job.
Hot water sized for the house: Five bedrooms and three bathrooms need more than a standard system. We service and replace hot water systems of every type, including larger-capacity storage and continuous-flow arrangements and gas systems, and we quote the options rather than defaulting to the dearest one.
Gas, taps and the rest: Our licensed gas fitters look after heating, cooktops and gas lines, we repair taps and period-style fittings, and a 24/7 emergency plumber is on call for burst pipes and anything that cannot wait until morning. If you smell gas, get the household out first and phone us from the garden.

FAQ
The questions that come up most on Wahroonga's larger properties and older homes.
An easement gives council or a neighbour the right to drain water through your land, and you generally cannot build over it or plant deep-rooted trees on it. What you can do is keep your own connections to it in good order. We locate easement lines, check how your stormwater ties in, and repair or reroute your pipework so it complies. If a blockage sits in the shared line itself, we can document it properly so the responsible party is clear.
Less than most owners fear. Heritage controls mainly protect the building fabric and significant gardens, and the bulk of plumbing repair happens underground or within existing service routes. We favour methods that avoid disturbance altogether, such as relining a broken sewer from existing access points. Where excavation near significant fabric is genuinely unavoidable, we plan the dig with you and your heritage adviser before a shovel touches the ground.
At the design stage, before joinery is ordered. Moving a sink, adding a butler's pantry or switching to a gas cooktop changes water, waste and gas runs, and in an older Wahroonga home the existing services rarely line up with the new plan. Involving us early means the rough-in is priced and scheduled properly, and you avoid the expensive discovery that a wall being tiled next week still hides 1940s pipework.
A tempering valve blends hot and cold water so the water reaching your bathroom taps cannot scald, which matters in a house with children or elderly family. They are required on new and replacement hot water installations, and they also wear out, typically after five to eight years. If your shower temperature has become erratic, the valve is a likely suspect. We test, replace and set them as part of any hot water job.
Yes. Tank overflow has to discharge to stormwater properly, pumps and switching valves need occasional attention, and any connection between tank water and the house must include backflow protection so the two supplies stay separate. We service all of it, and if you are adding a tank we can plumb it in so the system works and complies from day one.
